Puppy Mills
What are puppy mills? Puppy mills, sometimes known as a puppy farm, is a commercial dog breeding facility that is operated with an emphasis upon profits above animal welfare and is often in substandard conditions regarding the well-being of dogs in their care. Similar types of operations exist for other animals commonly kept as pets or used as feed for other animals. (Wikipedia)
The owners of Puppy Mills are putting dogs at risk for many things such as desies. Puppy mills do not keep the dogs in sanitary places. Many dogs die at puppy mills. They don’t have a chance in life. The puppies are forced to reproduced, and very often, the puppy mill owner will take the dogs bark away.
The puppies are also stuffed into small creates, given little food and water. This is animal abuse if you ever saw it. Many people don’t realize how bad puppy mills are. But they are, extremely, bad.
In puppy mills, females are sometimes bred every time they are in heat to increase profits, resulting in gradually decreasing sizes of litters. As puppies, mill dogs are also often weaned from their mothers well before the eight to ten weeks recommended.Dogs in puppy mills are often bred indiscriminately. While the puppies produced may come with pedigrees, the pedigree itself is neither an indication of quality nor authenticity. Pet stores selling these dogs may be unaware of breeding conditions. The American Kennel Club is by law not held responsible nor do they guarantee the health of the dogs they sell.
